The intention is to introduce you to the people who have been carving their own path...with no care for what anybody thinks.

We try not to post things that are still for sale but sometimes post things that are not easily available. If you like what you hear, then find these people and tell them how great they are.

Better still, tell them and then seek out their new releases and buy them. We add links, when they are reliable and active, so that you can keep track if you so wish.

Always go straight to the artist or the label where possible. That way, the money goes straight to the people responsible for this art. These people rely on our support to keep going and make more quality releases!

Please feel free to leave comments as you go along...at least then we know you appreciate this stuff (or otherwise) and you're not just a bunch of freeloading file collectors.

If you made this music and we have pissed you off by posting any of this, please leave a comment in the post and the offending articles will be removed.

Let's not dwell on it too much, but we all need a palate cleanser after the weird uncle (especially those of you who fell asleep with your mouths open) ...

As far as I can figure out, Takeo Yamashita created soundtracks for scores of Japanese TV series and movies during his 75 years on this planet. With a no doubt deferential nod of the head a series of Otomo Yoshihide related projects are brought together on this wonderful CD released on P-Vine Records in 1999.
